Brennan on the ball

FORMER Irish rugby legend Trevor Brennan has launched a new travel company, Trevor Brennan Rugby Tours.

Brennan, who is well-known throughout the rugby world and who now lives in Toulouse in the south of France, will be adapting a new approach to rugby touring, with a guarantee to provide a unique rugby experience that will embrace plenty of fun.

The fully bonded company will provide bespoke tours to the Six Nations, key Heineken Cup matches, Rugby World Cup, Lions Tours and the Hong Kong and Dubai Sevens.

RTE pundit Brent Pope has joined the company to head up the schools, colleges and club tours division.

Trevor’s detailed knowledge of rugby in Toulouse has also led to his new business including it as one of the key locations for group tours. Trevor describes Toulouse as “the perfect place for any Irish club or school to visit, to enjoy the good weather, play some local teams and take part in training sessions I will oversee”.

YOUNG children are of paramount importance for the survival of many tour operators, not least the camping specialists Keycamp.

Last year Keycamp launched free swimming lessons in some parks for kids between one and five years. Now it is extending that offer to seven parks while also adding more toddler-friendly activities in more European destinations.

For next year 19 parks have been designated as Mini World destinations; in addition to standard baby packs, parents can hire toddler trucks for €3 a day as well as all-terrain buggies.

For further information, or to book a break, call Keycamp on 021 4252300 or visit www.keycamp.ie
